This romance novel is among the best thanks to its expert combo of yearning, smut, and rich internal lives for the characters. Plus, the bi rep is fabulous!

I knew I was going to like this book, but didn't anticipate how much I would fall in love with this book. It is the perfect sapphic rom-com. The characters are relatable and I loved not only the romantic dynamic, but the friendship dynamics as well. This book touched on family trauma and did so in a way that was relatable and accessible, and balanced perfectly with the romance for an overall well-rounded, well-written book.

Delilah Green Doesn't Care reminded me why we need more sapphic romcoms in literature. From the start, it already gave me 'Tis the Damn Season vibes and you know I love my Taylor Swift references and allusions. This book delivered.

AHB is an auto-buy author for me. I have loved all of her MG and YA books, so I was hype read her more mature content. And I absolutely loved it. AHB is so, so good at creating relatable and fun characters while being delicate with realistic issues. I’m excited to read more Bright Falls.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care was a fun and compelling sapphic romance novel, and I will definitely be reading more of Blake’s books. The characters are well-written and believable, with the chemistry jumping off the page.

I read a fair bit of romances, but find myself very critical of them usually. This one definitely met, and exceeded my expectations! The characters felt real, the romance felt fleshed out and the resolution of the plot was great. A definite recommendation to any romance readers. So good! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

I really adored Delilah and her cynicism. I loved Claire's daring and her spunk that she especially gained as the book went on. The insta sizzle that took place at the bar in the first flirting was perfect.

Every character in this book was flushed out with rich personalities, I am excited to read what comes next for them all.

Loved this book so much! The single mom trope was so cute and I loved Delilah character along with the development between her and her sister

I absolutely loved the plot line for this book. The author did such a great job adding the best blend of sarcasm and flirting to make this one of my favorite romance reads this year!

I cannot stop thinking about this book and shoving it into people’s hands. Everyone I’ve recommended it to so far has told me how much they loved it too. Delilah and Claire are the perfect representation of the grump/sunshine trope (a personal favourite) and the side characters are to die for. I can’t wait to see them all again in the next book!

I’m so happy I finally picked up Delilah Green Doesn’t Care! This cute romcom will definitely leave you with a lot of feelings 🥹

Delilah isn’t excited to be back in Bright Falls for her stepsister, Astrid’s wedding. But she’s been hired to take the pictures, and she needs the money. What she didn’t expect was to fall for Astrid’s friend, Claire.

I loved the characters in this romance, but I felt like the beginning was a tad too slow and the end too fast.

The characters individually were great, but I was frustrated by how immature they acted at times. I really wanted more from Delilah and Astrid’s relationship, and I felt like something was missing when it came to their sister relationship. The pair have such a complicated past and one that has left them with so many emotions.

Their childhood is front and center of the story, but then it was resolved in like 5 pages. I didn’t feel like they really delved into their sister-relationship enough, and even though it’s a romance, I really wanted more of that.

Also, Delilah has a lot of unresolved feelings towards her stepmom, and I would’ve loved to see some sort of confrontation.

Ultimately though, I loved the romance and thought it was super swoon-worthy. While Delilah could be unlikeable at times, Claire, the love interest, was a delight. I loved reading her chapters.

Claire was a really complex character, and Blake did a great job with her character development. I loved Claire’s daughter, Ruby, and the relationship she has with her ex, Josh.

Although I felt like some key relationships and character development was missing, this was an enjoyable romance, and I’m excited to see what Blake writes next.

A queer, Cinderella inspired romance? Sign me up. I loved this story - it's about Delilah, who reluctantly returns to her small town to photograph her step sister's wedding. Delilah's chemistry with Claire was great - though I don't normally love miscommunication, but it was really well done in this book. I also really enjoyed the complicated family dynamics - it was easy to have sympathy for all characters involved and see from each of the POV. I'm dying for Astrid's book!

Can't believe I waited so long to read this book! It's a grumpy / sunshine romance with a side of sibling feels and every bit what I want from a romance. Delilah returns to her childhood home to photograph her estranged stepsister's wedding, expecting to hate every second of it. Then she meets a single mom , Claire, who also happens to be one of the very girls who made her life so miserable and lonely during her teen years. But a bit of flirting--and obvious interest from Claire--and suddenly this trip home gets a lot more fun. I think the best indication of how much I loved this book is that I immediately requested started the sequel after finishing it.

Received a digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

Follows the typical plot line of these new contemp/chicklit/romance that are becoming popular. I did like how the addition of a preteen daughter gave a little more to one of the MCs. It was a good read for what it is.

This book is a delight! I loved this sapphic love story and, bonus, the two main characters are in my dream careers: bookstore owner and photographer. Delilah and Claire’s characters were fully developed with dual POV. I always appreciate when side characters are also developed just enough to set up the next story, which was done so well here!

Was not able to finish this book before it came out. My library has purchased it and will use it in reader's advisory and displays.

I'm a bit torn on DELILAH GREEN DOESN'T CARE. Firstly, this book very early on had one of my most hated tropes of all tropes in a romance and I considered DNF'ing it immediately. The thing is, a lot of my friends have read this book and loved it (or at least, really enjoyed it) and so I figured there must be something going for it.

And there was. It was a cute romance but it was very heavy on two tropes that I dislike. 1) The DNF offender was a bet. Any time someone makes a bet about getting with someone, I have instant hate feels. 2) Miscommunication. That dreaded trope where grown ass adults can't just talk to each other. And it wasn't just our main couple, there were MULTIPLE couples who made this offense.

I did enjoy the main couple and I do think they're good together, I just wish it had less of the tropes I don't like. I have a very big aversion to the plot of book 2 so I probably won't continue with this series.

This was cute! Delilah is convinced to come back to her small Oregon hometown to photograph her stepsister's wedding because of a giant paycheck, even though stepsister and friends totally ignored her during their entire childhood and adolescence. Delilah bumps into one of stepsister's BFFs, Claire, in a bar, and they have an instant attraction. Delilah has to photograph all of the pre-wedding events and gets to know the group of girls for real. Delilah and Claire's attraction builds between wine tastings, fancy brunches, interactions with Claire's 11 YO daughter, and a scheme involving the wedding couple. I loved the coven, especially Iris, and thought all the characters were deep and well rounded. The sister relationship between Delilah and Astrid was interesting to see play out. It took me a long time to finish after I put it down midway months ago, but I'm glad I finished it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my thoughts!

Squee!! I just loved this one!! I really connected with Delilah and I just loved her character!! I mean ughhh 🥰😍!!! Claire and her’s chemistry was very hot and I loved it!!
